My original post indicated, "A common use nowadays, especially with
wikis and newsfeeds, is to store XHTML fragments (such as 'this is
<em>really</em> cool') to be later integrated into a larger XHTML
document." By "store" I mean "store in some external file". By
"integrated" I mean "gathered together and combined".
I never indicated that the application would parse the fragments
(although in my particular application this occurs)---even if no parsing
takes places and simply inclusion is to occur, the application still
needs to know whether it should render characters such as '<' verbatim
or whether it should encode them.
